Product Description

Willows Liquid Castile Shampoo 100% Organic Unscented 20L

Our unscented organic liquid castile shampoo is made from 100% certified organic ingredients and specifically formulated for use as a shampoo for anyone that wishes to add their own ingredients and/or essential oils @ 1 to 1.5 % or use an unscented product.

This soap has been made in Australia by a traditional handmade process of saponification of the above mentioned beautiful vegetable oils, resulting in a golden liquid soap and natural foaming cleanser rich in glycerine and nourishing vitamins and bubbles. It is free from palm oil and the usual foaming agents used in the more commercial shampoos, like cocobetaine, decyl glucocide, sodium laurel sulphate, free from detergents, thickeners, animal fats (making it suitable for vegans), parabens and preservatives, all known skin irritants, making our bases non- allergenic and 100% biodegradable.

Different oils impart different qualities to the soaps made from them. The properties of the Certified Organic oils we use in our shampoos are;Coconut oil; Shampoo made from only coconut oil is a great cleanser, but it is usually combined with other oils as it is a bit harsh and drying by itself.Sunflower oil: Shampoo made with sunflower oil contains a large amount of vitamin E and is soothing and conditioning.Castor oil: Crucial as an ingredient in shampoos, as it adds richness and mildness, the shampoo has a purifying quality and rinses clean.

Suggested essential oil use: We suggest an addition of 1 to 1.5% of essential oil. The base will still stay clear, or will clear after a day or so.

A note on our shampoo: After many years of commercial shampoos, scalp and hair may require a few weeks before adjusting to the natural formulations of handmade shampoo base. For instance, it is normal that hair might appear greasier and feel heavier after the first few uses, this is an indication that the shampoo is slowly dissolving the build up left by commercial products and these symptoms will slowly disappear. Adding a small amount ( 1 or 2 tablespoon) of apple cider vinegar to 1 cup of water as the last rinse will quickly restore the ideal PH of the scalp, it also has tonic, restorative and detangling qualities, which will quickly contribute to shiny, strong and healthy hair. With glycerine retained our shampoo are 2 in 1 with the need for conditioner minimized. A cold water rinse will work wonders for your hair no matter what shampoo you use as it helps close the hairshaft after a warm water wash.

For those needing a conditioner, we do have a Premium sulphate and paraben free conditioner available in our store.
